: - good idea.

: You can probably get aluminum extrusions from your hardware store
: in the widths and thicknesses you use, for greater accuracy and
: durability. I find I already have 1", 3/4" and
: 1/2" auminum also 3/8" brass stem molding, I'm going
: to pay a visit to the store for the other sizes.

I tend to use pretty thin strips. I've done a couple projects with 1/4" strips and it feels like I'm using construction lumber ;)

3/16" is more like it and I really prefer 5/32".
